Spine torn, binding slightly stained, otherwise good condition. Unpaginated stamp. Andrew Szczepka. Comprehensive monograph on the life and works of Grottger.

Extensive index and list of illustrations. Approx. 250 illustrations in the text and on plates. One of the most beautiful variants of the publisher's binding of this book: beige linen, red-gold geometric border on the front cover, author's name and title in the same colors; spine composed of similar elements - the whole maintained in art déco style.
